Having learned previously both the identity of the former British intelligence officer who compiled the "Trump dossier", revealed by the WSJ earlier this week as former MI-6 staffer Christopher Steele, currently director of London-based Orbis Business Intelligence, and that John McCain was the person who delivered the report to the FBI, one question remained: who commissioned the original report meant to uncover a material,i.e., campaign-ending, weakness in Donald Trump's past.
We now have an answer, or least a partial one. But first, a brief detour into just how Steele allegedly went about compiling his data.
In a report in Mother Jones, David Corn, who first broke the story that a former Western counterintelligence official had sent memos to the FBI with troubling allegations related to Donald Trump, writes about Steele's experience shortly after being retained in June by a "private research firm" to look into Trump's activity in Europe and Russia. Steele recalls that "It started off as a fairly general inquiry." One question for him, he said, was, "Are there business ties in Russia?"
...
And yet nobody went public with it to "crush" the Trump campaign; instead the best "compromising" thing that could be dug up was the tape of Trump "grabbing women by the pussy."
It goes without saying that if there was indeed some Trump-crushing fact in the report, it would have emerged long ago, and if not by the FBI, then certainly by Trump's immediate competitors, both Republican and Democrat... unless they too were "compromised" by Russia.
Which is why, no matter how this story ends, it should be clear by now that nothing contained in the "Trump report" was in any way actionable, or else it would have seen the light of day long ago.

Jeb connection exposed by BBC.
Communist meetings are known to include moles known otherwise as republican. Is Jeb one of them?
I believe and, apparently, so does Rush Limbaugh, that it is not Jeb! but John McCain who orchestrated this hit job.
Trump’s FBI and CIA must get to the bottom of this despicable
act. Americans MUST know who ordered and paid for this Fake Intel.
Including any and all Brittish participants.
Those responsible must be punished to the full extent of the law.
And if other countries, like the UK, they must be punished too.
Jeb and McCain are dripping with slime on this.
He was responsible for the IRS/Tea Party scandal as well.
No, McCain didn’t come into the picture until later, and passed it on hoping to damage Trump. But no one has said McCain had anything to do with originating it.

Makes a lot of sense. Also why somebody overseas was hired to to this. Plausible deniability as they say.
I agree......but I saw Linda Graham on O’Reilly last night and he looked like the cat that ate the canary. I may be wrong but something didn’t quite look right in his mannerisms or the way he talked.......probably nothing to it but that’s the way I saw it.
But no one has said McCain had anything to do with originating it.
He’s the most vulnerable to payback. Obvious reason to obscure his involvement.
I bet my money the Bushes were behind it. Just like the Access Hollywood tape released by Billy Bush.
Neocons underming Trump
You betcha! That’s why he is all in for School Choice. Seems he should be overseeing this operation coming up in the Tx Lege..
When you had the kind of money that Jeb had this is a natural expenditure. Hopefully the Bushes and Clintons are forever expunged from US politics.
Trump needs to completely ruin John McCain. I mean make him a complete pariah so that nobody dares collude with him for fear of his or her own ruin.
It would be nice if both were taken down by this.
It was clearly McCain. He is the one who gave the “dossier” to the FBI and got it into the system. Does anyone doubt that McCain would have leaked it all over the press?
I’m betting it’s a Republican out of one of the Carolinas. They are very creative & very mean spirited.
1. Spreading the rumor that McCain’s adopted daughter Sydney from Mother Theresa’s orphanage in India was the product of John’s & a black mistress.
2. Creating a Faux- $5 Gold/foil Christmas Card forged by the Romney family with scripture that said, “Satan the brother of Jesus......” sending it out to thousands of party members and donors.
This sounds like their work.
True. But we must know who gave it to McCain.
McCain must be interviewed by Trump’s FBI “Under Oath”
to trace the chain of production and delivery of this Fake Report.
Someone (maybe multiple someones) have a sensitive body part in the wringer.
Time to keep cranking and see who says “ouch”.
